GENERAL MILLS REFUSES TO BOYCOTT SINCLAIR! (Takes a swipe at CBS!)

Leftists are still writing to advertisers to boycott Sinclair. A few of the cowardly ones have given in but General Mills deserves kudos for not giving in to the Leftists! Read their reply to the Leftists and their swipe at CBS!

"We believe one of the fundamental elements of our society is the freedom of the press. Companies such as ours, in our view, should not attempt to influence, control or pre-empt the content of news through the leverage of advertising sponsorship. To do so would undermine that fundamental freedom.

From time to time, any one of us as viewers may consider a particular news story to be inaccurate or imbalanced. News organizations do err. Judgment is not always well applied. One major news organization recently acknowledged that errors were made in stories relating to the current presidential election. When such errors occur, certainly a price is paid in terms of reputation. But errors and questionable judgment are an acceptable price to pay, in our view, to assure the presence of a free and independent media in our society."
